RM600k on Credit Card Bills

Yesterday, PKR made another sensational claim, that Sharizat’s family had squandered nearly RM600,000 from the federally-funded project to pay for their credit card bills in 2009. Their strategic director Rafizi Ramli said NFC released RM182,525, RM160,673, RM127,900 and RM122,402 to settle Shahrizat’s husband and NFC chairman Mohamad Salleh Ismail and her three children’s bills respectively. Rafizi, being meticulous, gave a more detailed breakdown of the unrestrained spending by this wayward family of degenerates. Rafizi said Mohamad Salleh spent a total of RM182,525 that year, averaging a monthly spending of RM15,210 while the children Wan Shahinur Izran Mohamad Salleh spent RM160,673 (averaging RM13,389 monthly); Wan Izzana Fatimah Mohamad Salleh RM127,900 (averaging RM10,658 monthly); and Wan Shahinur Izmir Mohamad Salleh RM122,402 (averaging RM10,200 monthly).

These spongers are so damn lucky. I wish somebody will pay for my credit card bill and it's only a fraction of the amount stated above. I want to enjoy the good life too! I’ve got my CV all ready – can I please send it to Mohamad Salleh? Can ah?

Anwar Ibrahim will not get to enjoy a respite. On Sunday, Utusan Malaysia carried a front page story “Anwar ulas isu gay” (Anwar discusses gay rights), while Berita Harian’s title on the same story read “Tindakan Anwar sokong homosexual dikecam” (Anwar’s support for homosexuals condemned by many).

Utusan’s weekend news edition, Mingguan Malaysia quoted Anwar as saying during the BBC interview that laws on gay rights in Malaysia were considered “archaic” and “not relevant.” Certainly, BBC did ask Anwar whether he was prepared to push for the idea of anti-discrimination as far as gay rights were concerned, to which he had allegedly said “we will have to review some of our archaic laws.”

But additional excerpts of what Anwar had said were conveniently left out by both Utusan and Berita Harian. Anwar had, in fact, said Pakatan Rakyat was of the view that “we do not promote homosexuality within the public domain, and we do not need to make apologies for that.”

The thrashy Malay media is insidiously harboring this guilty pleasure of wanting to make Anwar look sleazy and revolting. After all, these scum newspapers exist only to ensure the survival of UMNO. They are here to serve their masters, to lie, to slander and to distort the truth just so UMNO thrives. And scheming UMNO together with their conniving allies will continue to attack Anwar – he is very much an immense threat to UMNO’s hegemony!
